Yardbarker on MSNShohei Ohtani hits new benchmark in pitching return as Dodgers snap season-long loss skidWhen the Los Angeles Dodgers needed him most, Shohei Ohtani delivered. The 2024 NL MVP started his fifth game as a pitcher this season on Saturday in a 2-1 win over the San Francisco Giants, halting the Dodgers' seven-game losing streak, their longest since 2017.
Shohei Ohtani has looked good on the mound since his return to two-way duties last month. The hitting still remains at an MVP level, but some underlying stats show a decline.
San Francisco Giants fans will get an opportunity to see Shohei Ohtani pitch at Oracle Park for the first time, albeit for the Los Angeles Dodgers, when the National League West rivals continue a three-game series Saturday afternoon.
It marked the 65th home run into the water by an opponent in Oracle Park’s 25-year history and 171st in all — and 35 of those belong to home run king Barry Bonds.
